Chapter 974 Chapter 974: Heaven's descent
"Everything is prepared. The Angels will be here tomorrow, and our son will turn ten years old. This is the only time we can complete this."
"Don't forget, the Divine Will is more important than anything, and only our child can."
The King talked to his wife, not realizing that a shadow was watching him from a hidden corner.
"But if we do this, we will lose him." The Woman was trying her hardest to control her tears.
She had known that this day would come for a long time. The moment they had a son, she was already told that this would happen. But now that the time was drawing near, she could not help but hesitate.
"We can't hesitate now. Just one more day, and... Heaven will descend."
....
'Heaven will descend?'n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Karyk shrouded the Prince in an illusion and entered the outer region of the city, getting past the guards. However, his mind was still focused on the words of the King.
It was as if the King had planned everything. From their words, and the Queen's sadness, a lot of things were becoming clearer to him.
'So there really is a heaven... Or something that they call heaven.'
In this world, a lot of things had different meanings than what he knew. Even ordinary subordinates of Archangels were called Children of Heaven, so he could not believe that the King meant what he was understanding.
Still, it looked important. The Civilization that was comparable to the Archangels was going to sacrifice their only child to make heaven descent? Just what kind of existence was it?
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Was he truly this Prince? He thought that at first, but with each piece of information he was receiving, that thought was looking more unlikely.
Someone had protected him in Elzeira. He thought it was someone from Civilization, but that didn't seem to be the case. They themselves wanted the Prince dead to
achieve their goals. Why would they let him live?
'They need the Archangels for the ceremony as well, and they are planning to have it tomorrow. I suppose a lot of things will become clear by then. I must enter the Palace and see it through.'
Karyk walked next to the young boy, who had no idea what his own parents were planning.
The Prince thought that his family did not allow him to leave the Palace because they were worried for his safety. It was true. They were worried for his safety, but mostly because they didn't want anything to affect the Ceremony.
Karyk observed the young boy, who was looking at the powerful stricken
neighborhood with fascination, finding it to be an entirely different place compared to the glamorous inner city.
"Why are these houses so bad?" he asked Karyk.
"Because this is the place where the poor live. Remember I told you about money? The people here don't have much money, so they can only afford this much."
Karyk answered the Prince while simultaneously focusing on the Palace.
He wanted to gather more information. Unfortunately, an explosion resounded in the Palace. The King stopped his conversation and the other powerful guards were also alerted.
The infiltrators tried to look for the Prince, even interrogating the servants before killing them. Unfortunately, none of them received a good answer.
They spread out throughout the palace and tried to look for the Prince.
Unfortunately, the entire palace was on lockdown. Each of the infiltrators was caught and killed.
Only the Leader of the group was left alive, but even he knew that he was in a deep
mess.
His throat was in the King's hands, whose expressions were dark as he looked at his son's room.
"Where is my son?!"
At first, the King was frightened at the thought of his son being killed. But in the entire place, he did not find his son or even a body, which made him sigh in relief. At least his son was not dead.
"You are asking us?! Even to the last moment, you want to mock me?" The Leader of the Infiltrators stared at the King in disbelief. "I agree that your trap fooled us! We should have been more careful. But do you think you can hide that child forever? He will die before you get what you want!"
The King was a little confused by the man's words. What trap was he talking about? Why did it look like even this man did not have his son? So where was his son?
"Your Majesty, we found him in the bathroom."
A knight came out of the Prince's room, dragging a servant whose hands and feet were tied.
"You are... The personal servant of my son? Why are you like this?"
Most of the servants that came across the infiltrators were killed brutally. It didn't look like their work to tie a servant.
"T-the Prince tied me up!" The Servant exclaimed. "He used a Miracle and..."
He explained everything that happened to him, including the fact that the Prince could use Miracles already.
"So no son left the Palace hours ago?"
The King was supposed to be angry, but instead, he started laughing. Although his guards had failed to keep his son in the palace, but it worked for his benefit!
The Prince survived because he was not in the palace. He survived because he chose to leave the palace at the right time. Was it luck? The King did not know.
All he knew was that he had avoided a disaster. The Ceremony could still be held as the Prince was alive?
"Search the entire palace and find my son! Bring him back safely!" He commanded his Royal Guards.
His guards swiftly left the Palace while the King turned his attention to the man in his hand.
The man had ugly expressions on his face. So it was not a trap? They had failed because of a child's actions?
If they simply observed the Palace while being cautious, they could have caught the Prince and killed him without having to enter the palace.
